50 new sessions with abstracts announced!
Pre-conference workshop popularity soars,
Show Off contest launches, microwaves and the

It's a great question, ceat. There's nothing like being at a PDC...especially if you you're a professional developer or architect interested in the future of the Microsoft platform. Attendees tell us (via survey feedback) that--while content is certainly
a very important part of the event--the ability to network with both Microsoft employees who build the products and with fellow peers is one of the primary reasons they attend. There's really no better way to jump-start your brain and get inspired about what
you can do with the next generation of our technology.

But, if for some reason you can't attend (or even if you can), we'll always make recordings of the session content (except for pre-cons) available to everyone on the planet. We've been doing this since PDC05, and we've evolved the process at MIX06, MIX07, and
MIX08.

I cannot recommend attending the pre-conference sessions. At PDC05 I attended PRE03 presented by Brandon Bray, Anson Tsao and others. Anson had some gems in his slide deck that I really wanted. There's a problem, though. Microsoft presenters believe that
the slides and everything will be available to attendees on the DVD afterword, so they don't bother printing them out. But that's wrong. Indeed, in the conference guide for PDC05 on page 39 it says "Pre-conference sessions, Hands-on labs, and keynote/general
sessions are not included".

Even after pestering the presenters with email after the DVD arrived, I never got Anson's slides.
